The Cobb County Genealogy Society will have its monthly meeting on Oct. 24 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church of Marietta, 189 Church St. in Marietta.

The program will be Exploring the Salem Witch Trials. The trials, synonymous with paranoia and injustice, will be presented by Candy Parrow whose ancestor was accused of witchcraft. The trials took place in colonial Massachusetts during a two-year period from 1692 to 1693. Parrow will set the stage for how the witch panic started and the possible reasons for it.
